Zontar: The Thing from Venus

1967 · 80 min

A creaky, talky low-budget creature feature that feels more like a sluggish TV play than a monster movie.

Directed by
Larry Buchanan
Genres
Horror, Science fiction, Tv movie
Tagline
It's Coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?
Overview
A misguided scientist enables an alien from Venus named Zontar to come to earth in order to "help solve man's problems". However, as soon as Zontar arrives on Earth, it quickly becomes obvious that the three-eyed, bat-winged, skeletal black creature has a hidden agenda.
How it feels
Slow-burning and fine in the background.
